ok, theres that actuator, i was checking that out but i don tthink thats the problem, the door doesnt even lock when you turn the key in the door. so would that still be a bad actuator just jammed and not letting me lock it?

 

Yes. When they lock up you cant turn then cylinder. Sometimes at all.

 

Take linkage off the actuator. See if it works. Then replace lock actuator. Bubba

 

yes its the actuator because when it seizes the linkage attached will not allow the lock cylinder to move

 

ok thanks! can i just leave the actuator off? and just lock it manually? cuz this thing isnt even street legal yet so i gotta pay for all that stuff.

 

My driver's side door actuator locked up just like yours. I unhooked it and lock it manually. Have been for a while now....LOL.

 

ok cool, i have the door panel off, do i have to drill those rivets out? or hwo do i get in there to take it out?

 

I just drilled my rivet out on mine,

both doors are basically manual now. both lock fine...

the replacement acuators run about 45 bucks and are made in Taiwan pieces of junk... one burned out again in all of 4 months
